cheese rolling Cheese Rolling

Cheese Rolling (Cooper's Hill, Gloucestershire)

Cheese Rolling is an event that has been officially banned by the fun police due to the risks participants endure from running/rolling/falling down a hill in pursuit of some cheese. Fortunately too many people have ignored these new rules, and this annual tradition continues. It is perhaps stupid and scary to join in the cheese chasing, but very entertaining to watch.
